We celebrated a friend's birthday, and it was all our first time here. Everything from start to finish was excellent. Top notch service, pleasant ambience, and delicious food. Definitely pricey but worth every penny. read more

So we like steakhouses. Service was great (thank you Bruno). The decor and ambiance was chic but warm. The food was very good. My biggest criticism (and it is generational I think) is that I don't consider this to be a shorts and t-shirt restaurant but yet there was definitely no dress code here. My second criticism (may be tied with the other) is that there is a small selection of red wines by the glass. With the negative out of the way, there were many positives. First, the bread they serve isn't your normal type. They are rolls served in little cast iron pans - very good! The lobster bisque was DELICIOUS! Served with a puff pastry top (puffed up) the presentation was impressive. The bisque was rich yet not a thick cream. Calamari was good. We shared a porterhouse and ribeye. They were very good. The side of tater tots was a surprise. Not your typical tater tots and they are a definite to try! Last we had the milk and cookies for dessert. Cookies are served sort and warm - just the way I like them. We definitely enjoyed the meal. I think it was pricey compared to other very good steakhouses. read more

Came for my birthday back in September and it was an unforgettable experience. Service and atmosphere was amazing and food was well worth the price. The menus even said "Happy Birthday" on it which I thought was a nice touch. Cannot wait to go again! read more

Expensive and overrated. How can you charge $14 for a Harpoon IPA that I can get down the street at the brewery for 1/3 of the price? Meal was decent. Had the wellington and it wasn't great, but it was the first time I've ever tried one and thought maybe they just weren't for me. Recently had one at a Michelin star restaurant overseas and it was absolutely fantastic (and $24 cheaper). It seems Mooo just doesn't know how to do a wellington. read more

Fabulous food, great service and atmosphere. Love both locations! My husband and I went to the wrong location in Boston. We could not get to the other restaurant in time. No worries as the staff a contacted us at the bar. Love, love, love Moo! read more

Amazing restaurant! I've been to the original location in Beacon Hill so I had high expectations and they were certainly met. I have been to this space when it was Bastille Kitchen (RIP) and it looks about the same. The service was very friendly and attentive, certainly what you'd expect at a high end steak house. We skipped appetizers since we wanted to focus on entrees, I got the filet mignon and my husband got the beef Wellington. Both were cooked perfectly and my steak came with a house butter served in a marrow bone which was divine. We got the onion rings and creamed spinach as sides and they paired perfectly with the steaks. House rolls were complimentary and came warm with butter, they were delicious. Cocktails were spectacular as well. We had the bananas fosters for dessert even though we were very fully and I was supposed with how large the serving was, definitely meant to be shared. Highly recommend Mooo, not cheap of course but certainly worth the money! read more

Came to a much anticipated birthday dinner at Moo last night with my boyfriend and another couple. I have been dying to try this spot forever after hearing so many great things. We started with the Japanese wagyu beef dumplings & octopus. They were both incredible!!! I also can't forget to mention the complimentary rolls. Normally I wouldn't call out a roll but these were absolutely unbelievable. For entrees three of us ordered the filet (mine with the truffle sauce which I highly recommend) and the fourth ordered the salmon. They were cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth. For sides we tried the onion rings, carrots and broccoli rabe. The carrots were my fave! My only complaint was with the service. One of us waited almost 30 minutes for a cocktail. We then ordered a bottle of wine with our main course and after the initial pour we were left to refill our glasses ourselves. Thankfully our food was incredible as our server never came back to check on us until she was delivering a dessert menu about an hour later. I am typically very patient when it comes to service, especially in post pandemic times, however when you are spending this much money on a dinner I expect A+ service and this was a C at best. read more

The food was amazing. Let's start with the Wagyu dumplings..chefs kiss Our steaks were cooked just right. It was nice to talk Napa wine country with our amazing server Mauricio I believe was his name. Ended our scrumptious meal with Limoncello. Thank you for the great food and service! read more

Moooooove and don't eat here. Talk about a chain restaurant masquerading as a steakhouse. Do not let the ambiance fool you; it's fools gold. Our server was extremely nice, polite, informative and wonderful. We ordered the Japanese Wagyu Beef Dumplings, Prime Dry-Aged Porterhouse, and the Mooo...Side Flight (whipped Yukon potatoes, creamed spinach, truffles Parmesan fries, and exotic mushroom). They gave us complimentary bread which had some butter and possibly Maldon Salt on top, but was oddly sweet on the inside and had a potato bread type texture. The dumplings were overly Al-dente. The soy and ginger sauce was too salty and had no ginger. The "wagyu" filling just tasted like boiled beef. Go to Trader Joe's and buy frozen dumpling and don't spend $30 on this five piece appetizer. The porterhouse hits the table with the sides and I could tell we were in trouble. We asked the steak to be cut for us, but instead of being cooked then sliced; it was obviously cut and then cooked. Essentially each, small piece cooking separately and looking dry. It's labeled as "dry-aged", but it seems like the steak was frozen, barely defrosted and then slapped on pan to cooked. This is a $100 steak that was extremely tough, had no flavor, no care when cooking, and overcooked. Go to Applebees, spend $20 and get the same steak. The creamed spinach was basically steamed spinach mixed with cream. Our server asked how it was, we were honest, the manager came over to the table and offered to replace our steak or give us a comped sirloin for filet mignon; which was extremely understanding and kind on his part. We chose the sirloin cooked rare and same thing happened; it was tough, no flavor, felt pan cooked, and it was similarly dry as the porter house. A rare steak should have blood on the plate, be red on the inside, and seared on the outside; none of that happened here or probably in any steak in the building. Both steaks we received were warm and nowhere near sizzling. We didn't want dessert, just the check; but they gave us free crème brûlée and decided to comp the dumplings. The saving grace in this restaurant was its servers and sparkling water, which was Pellegrino, which I can get at any gas station. I am from NYC and I have run the gamut of steakhouses, old and new, fancy and run down, old school and new school, and in several cities. Listen, these new age steakhouses are all about investing in aesthetics and not in the quality of their food. Go to Abe & Louie's in town for a classic steakhouse experience i.e., great quality meat cooked sizzling and juicy. Or go to Oliviera's Brazilian steakhouse in Somerville to sample several cuts of meat that you can actually see being cooking into delicious morsels. Save your money and save your time by going somewhere else. read more

Wonderful dinner. Excellent service. Beef Wellington was insanely good. Oysters casino uniquely fabulous. Opened just a week ago and place was packed on a Tuesday night. Super expensive but well worth it. As most places in seaport the parking is minimal. Overall Very attentive and extremely well trained in the allergy department. Much appreciated. 5 stars!! read more

Two stars only because the food was decent. First of all the restaurant was literally 90 degrees with no A/C... this is not an environment conducive to eating red meat and drinking red wine. Second, it was my friends 30th birthday and they gave us menus that said "happy birthday Jake and Taylor"... her name is neither Jake nor Taylor... we sat dripping sweat for over 3 hours. At $400+ per couple I would expect way, WAY more. Highly disappointed. read more

Well last month I had a great experience at Moo Beacon street 5.0. Here final score 4.9 Here's the details;, this restaurant's ambience is far superior to Moo on Beacon Street. My opinion. Modern, just nice!! We had a great little booth. Overall 5.0. My girlfriend had wagyu beef dumplings 4.5 .. these a little spicier than the ones on beacon Street. Some would prefer that, so pretty subjective as to your taste. Brandt Rib eye 5.0 medium with char -perfect, the side charred carrots with a honey sauce. Wow, great 5.0 Me - I got 3 shrimp, 4.9 . Bone-in filet mignon medium rare with Char. Why not a 5.0 but a 4.9....because it came medium, BUT, the manager Courtney took it off the bill because it wasn't perfect. So nice of her. On my side, I had creamy garlic mashed potatoes which were unbelievable 5.0, and had to try the onion rings which were. terrific 5.0. service from Noell was 5.0. Management 5.0. Going back. read more

Every thing we ordered was excellent. Lobster Bisque was outstanding. Octopus was very tender and also was excellent. Meat and Tater Tots were also very good. The whole experience exceeded expectations. read more

Ehhh. Not so much for $. I am prepared to pay if I'm coming to a Mistral group restaurant. I have never had an upcharge for olives before, which is ridiculous to me. Will they charge for ice next. Air conditioning-? What's next? Absurd, I'll never go back read more

Heard great reviews about Mooo so I had to check it out for myself. Went there for my birthday in November and absolutely loved it. The waiter was the nicest man and he cut the tomahawk very well. Oysters were great, fries were amazing, creamed spinach was very good, and the steak was perfectly cooked. Highly recommend this place for a nice night out with steak and wine. read more

Still the best steak I have had in Boston. Both locations Beacon and The Seaport. Always consistently excellent service and food. I like this new location a little bit more because of the size of the restaurant as well as the bar. But overall food was excellent. read more

Very cool location. Great food. Great service. Nice bar. The burger was excellent. Only negative was the music they had on. It felt like elevator music blasting. read more

Amazing amazing amazing!! Our daughter's graduation dinner couldn't have been better. Perfectly prepared starters and steaks, each delicious and perfectly prepared. Service was professional, and attentive without being obstrusive. Everything on point. Well done!! read more

Overall fantastic experience! Excellent service from delightful waitress Micuiko...offered wonderful suggestions and new every item on the menu!! Hendricks martinis were awesome! Omaha fillet and NY top sirloin steaks were cooked to perfection. Asparagus side was enough for two. Bananas forster was a great ending! Definitely coming back!! read more

Delicious food and drinks. I had the espresso martini & filet minon with mashed potatoes. Our waitress Alyssa was wonderful!!

The atmosphere the vibe the food is sooooo good . I had a waitress she was Asian ( I forgot her name sadly ) however she was the best waitress I ever had. Soooo Nice . A read more

My wife and I had dinner this evening at 7 pm. We had one of our most bizarre experiences in a nice restaurant that we have ever experienced. My wife had shrimp linguine, myself a filet and we split the tater tots and a wedge salad. We each had a glass of wine. The food was very good !! The strange thing that happened was our waitress totally ignored us. If it wasn't for the other helpers I'm no it sure we would even received water. The restaurant did comp our wine but the waitress never did tell us why it was comped. I hate to write a bad review when the food was good, but the service was extremely sub par for this type of restaurant. read more

Higher price than comparable steak houses with lower quality food. Bartender seemed to go out of their way in order to not wait on our seats. read more

Simply exceptional! Run don't walk. Service is impeccable and food is top notch. I had the salmon which was cooked to my liking, and my husband got the shrimp scampi which was flavorful and had enough for lunch the next day. Don't sleep on the bread they bring too....sooooo tasty! read more

Food and drinks were very good. The filet mignon was melt in your mouth delicious. We got the charred broccolini and Yukon whipped potatoes which were tasty. Even the warm, soft, buttery rolls were memorable! We sat at the bar because that is the only reservation we could get, but the service was still great. The bartenders and servers were attentive and responsive. Overall top notch experience. It is pricey, but in line with the quality of food you get. Highly recommend! read more

Came here for my birthday a few days after they opened. Tremendous experience. Food was delicious and the service was very attentive. Filet was perfectly cooked and the truffle sauce was a perfect accompaniment. Bananas foster was an amazing end to the meal. We will be coming back soon! read more

I was excited to take my first trip to Moo Seaport after a long history of going to the original Moo in downtown for over a decade. I booked this after flying in my parents from Atlanta to celebrate my birthday with my husband and me. While we had a great greeting at the restaurant, the waiter was rude and uninviting. I am certain that he was racist or having a bad day. He did not acknowledge my birthday despite it being printed on the menus. This was one of my worst birthday dining experiences in 40+ years. I will never return. read more

Mooo Seaport went above and beyond for our wedding. Our event manager Chartelle planned and executed everything perfectly. Chartelle and her staff handled everything and met all our guests requests. The food was extraordinary. We had expected it to be delicious with Mooo's reputation, but to have our guests calling and messaging days later to tell us it was one of the best wedding meals they had experienced made our wedding extremely special. read more

Great atmosphere and food. Went here to celebrate a birthday. We had ribeye and lobster; both were delicious. The asparagus, carrots and broccolini were the perfect sides. Our busboy, Estaban, took amazing care of us. I bragged about his services to the manager. Though Moo has only been open for eight months, it is certainly making a name for itself. read more

Excellent food, ambience and service. I had the bone in Filet Mignon it was done to perfection. The side sides were a bit small so need to order at least one per person at the table. Ambiance was very nice, on the down side restrooms on bottom floor only. read more

The food was absolutely incredible. Wagyu dumplings, steaks, sides all delicious. Drinks also done well. Main issue comes with service. When deciding to dine at an upscale steakhouse, you expect the service to match the quality of the restaurant. Our salad arrived 20 min after other appetizer, and although it ended up being comp'd, this brought great frustration to an otherwise perfect experience. I reccomend coming here on all fronts, but expect to wait between courses during prime hours. read more

Hector was our server and he was INCREDIBLE. So attentive and took my gluten allergy very seriously. He was ready to pour the wine whenever our glasses were low, and we felt very well taken care of. I was able to enjoy the best gluten free rolls I have ever had, as well as the most delicious and perfectly cooked ribeye. Also, the Yukon whipped potatoes are insane. We ended up ordering a second order to bring home! Absolutely great date night! We will be back (and requesting Hector again!) read more

The food was pretty good and some of the staff was very nice... the other half came off a little condescending. The ambiance was nice as well, with limited parking so I would uber in the future. read more

Hands down best steakhouse in New England - recommend the tuna tartare, beef Wellington, all the steaks, roasted carrots and chocolate cake!

If I could give it 10 stars I would. Easily the best steakhouse I have been to in Boston and probably any I have ever been to. Absolutely loved it. Seated at the bar with my daughters and Daniel the bartender and he is a great host. Has the Australian Wagyu and the Omaha Ribeye Cap steak. Amazing meal. read more

Mooo update: our dessert was credited after we returned home so we want to acknowledge the correction. Food was excellent and we do want to return when soft-shell crabs are in season. read more

Love the atmosphere here, will definitely stop by for a drink now and again, but I wasn't wowed by the food. There were some highlights which included the dinner rolls. They were the best dinner rolls I have ever had. I use Texas Roadhouse as the standard when judging pre meal breads as we all should, and Mooo has them beat. The apps were decent, the Tuna Tartar was beautiful but didn't taste super fresh. The Wagyu Dumplings were good but not $30 for 5 small dumplings good. That's pretty much the theme for the rest of the meal. My bone-in Filet was really good. I love that they serve all the steaks with bone marrow, a nice touch that adds a lot of flavor to the meat. The star of the show was the Bordelaise sauce, they should bottle it and sell it it's so good. The sides were super disappointing. The whipped Potatoes were pretty sad, they give you about three spoonfuls worth and they really lacked any seasoning (thank god for the Bordelaise). The Lobster Mac and Cheese was pathetic, it was essentially a cheesy soup. The Brocollini was botched, it had a great char on it but it was completely unseasoned and unless you got one of the massive pieces of Calabrian chili you wouldn't even know it was in there. The only things in the entire meal that felt seasoned properly were the rolls and the steak, and the side dishes were completely botched. I would return for the atmosphere and maybe give the food another shot because the rolls and steak showed promise. But if you're gonna go drop $500+ on a mind blowing steakhouse feast, you're gonna wanna look elsewhere. read more

We went for the first time tonight as we live close by. The steak tartare appetizer was so delicious! The filet mignon was so tender ! Creamed spinach was to die for. Everything was so fresh and light not too heavy. Fantastic atmosphere with the high ceilings and exposed brick. Great cocktails! We had the creme brûlée for dessert along with the espresso martini. It was all superb. The staff is so friendly and we are excited to return soon. read more

The good .. the food is outstanding! That being said it takes a long time to get. We were clearly not a priority to our server who spent the entire evening talking to all the tables around us. Sat for 20 minutes before even getting a drink order taken . Luckily the buzzer came quickly with water and bread. Larger tables who ordered after us had food before we did . Server never checking in to see how we were doing . Ordered more drinks from a different server, who was very nice. It was made clear to us that we were not important enough for our server to take care of . Also the hostess was not friendly at all. Will go back to beacon hill location only after this experience read more
